Title:
  update-manager upgrade volume detector needs to perform more checks

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Currently, if you were to write an ubuntu image to a USB disk using
  USB creator, when the process completes, a window entitled, "Upgrade
  Volume Detected" pops up saying:

  A distribution volume with software packages has been detected.

  Would you like to try to upgrade from it automatically?

  This is potentially helpful, but also potentially dangerous since if
  the user were running natty and for example writing a maverick image,
  the same box pops up asking if you want to "upgrade"... to maverick.

  Maybe a check could be performed to see if the upgrade volume is newer
  in some way than the installed system?
